NASDAQ FOUNDATION QUARTERLY GRANT PROGRAM
The Quarterly Grant Program allows us to move nimbly to fund and help scale
programs that align with the Foundation’s mission.
PROGRAM CRITERIA
1. Empower organizations that equip under-resourced communities with the
financial knowledge and confidence they need to share in the wealth that
markets can create.
2. Grants will be given in this area to organizations and programs which deliver
impact in one or more of the following ways:
• Enhancing financial literacy among under-resourced
communities, with an element of teaching participants how to
invest in the capital markets

to strengthen and scale those businesses and contribute to the prosperity of
society.
